Intro
C# A#m G# F# G# G#7
C# A#m G# F# G# G#7
[Verse]
C# A#m G#
As far as I could tell
F# G# G#7
I was the center of the universe
F# G# G#7
The favorite stepchild of our Mother Earth
C# G#/C A#m
And every camera's dream
[Verse]
C# A#m G#
'Til something broke the spell
F# G# G#7
And the cold hard facts I was hiding from
F# G# G#7
Were at the mercy of the pendulum
C# G#/C A#m A#m/G#
And I was smashed to smithereens
[Prechorus]
D#7/G C#
Let's try and have some fun tonight
F#m C# F# G#
Let's act like we got nowhere else to be
[Chorus]
C# A#m G# F# G#
Like we're just as young as we used to be
C# A#m G# F# G#
That goes for everyone but me especially
[Break]
C# A#m G# F# G# G#7
[Verse]
C# A#m G#
Documents and names
F# G# G#7
An eye twitch away from what they really mean
F# G# G#7
In the shadow world of the in-betweens
C# G#/C A#m
That surrounds us on all sides
[Verse]
C# A#m G#
You can look the other way
F# G# G#7
In fact, that's all I did until recently
F# G# G#7
'Til the expiration of my amnesty
C# G#/C A#m A#m/G#
Left me nowhere else to hide
[Prechorus]
D#7/G C#
Let's try and have some fun tonight
F#m C# F# G#
Let's act it could always be this good
[Chorus]
C# A#m G# F# G#
Like we're just as young as we used to be
C# A#m G# F# G#
That goes for everyone but me especially
[Bridge]
D#m A#m
A# flatlining learning curve
F# C#
On the last leg with low reserves
D#m A#m
A# desperado that lost his nerve
F#
Trying now to serve
G# G#7
Teach me how to serve
[Chorus]
C# A#m G# F# G#
'Cause we're not as young as we used to be
C# A#m G# F# G#
And it goes for everyone but me especially
[Chorus]
C# A#m G# F# G#
'Cause we're not as young as we used to be
(Why am I still the youngest guy my age? Why am I still reading the same page?)
C# A#m G# F#
And it goes for everyone but me especially
(I know it's hard for everyone)
G#
And you especially
[Outro]
